How to get involved
There are many ways to get involved, both on and off campus. You can focus your effort on the individual, relationship, community, and societal levels, allowing you to take action in a variety of ways.
Be an active bystander
Choose to take action when you see behavior that puts others at risk for violence, victimization, or perpetration. These include speaking out against rape myths, supporting victim/survivors, and intervening in potentially violent situations.
Become a peer educator
Spread awareness and education on healthy relationships, bystander intervention, consent, and other resources.
To request a training for your class or group, contact Zachary Draves, program director for sexual assault prevention education.
Enroll in courses that focus on sexual health/awareness/social justice
Here are some examples:
- Survivor Advocacy (PSYC 130) trains you to become a Family Resources Survivor Advocate volunteer
- Bystander Intervention (PSYC/SOC/WGS 135)
- Sexuality and Health Education (PUBH 306)
